Backflow Assembly Elevation & Vault Rehabilitation

An existing backflow prevention assembly was situated below grade in a concrete vault, making access for routine inspection and testing difficult. The crew reconfigured and raised the assembly above grade, connected new piping and isolation valves, placed pea gravel backfill within the vault, and completed a concrete surface around the risers.

Bryan Gallego served as foreman, directing the crew and personally performing portions of the field work.

Emergency Water Main Spot Repair & Roadway Coordination

Following a resident report of water surfacing from the ground, the Apex Companies LLC crew responded to a water leak within the private residential water distribution system maintained under its contract. The team investigated the source, coordinated the necessary shutdown with the City of San Diego water utility, excavated the roadway, removed the damaged section of existing asbestos-cement (AC) water pipe, and installed a C900 replacement section using two mechanical transition couplings. Excavated spoil was removed, imported backfill was placed, and the roadway was temporarily protected with steel road plates while asphalt restoration was scheduled with a subcontractor.

Bryan Gallego served as foreman, organized field personnel and equipment, procured materials after the repair requirements were confirmed, and coordinated the work and restoration schedule. This project was performed during his employment at Apex Companies LLC, not under a Gallego Underground & Civil contract.
